Breakfast with Mark Twain and Norman Rockwell: A one man “Hal Holbrook” type portrayal of Mark Twain with all the wit and wisdom of Missouri’s Favorite Son. You laugh as Twain shares his stories about Life on the Mississippi and around the world. “Clem Samuels” (a.k.a. Dave Ehlert) Branson’s very own Mark Twain will have you laughing in the aisles with his uncanny portrayal of the whiskey drinkin’ cigar smokin’ humorist who inspired the world with his sharp tongue and soft heart. You’ll go back in time during a nostalgic display of Norman Rockwell’s artwork which is projected on a huge projection screen during the show. You’ll see what Tom Sawyer and Rosie the Riveter had in common. Let the artwork of America’s Most Beloved Illustrator take you back to a “better time in America” when doors were left unlocked and you always stopped to help a stranger. All this and a FREE BREAKFAST before the show! Please arrive at the theater by 7:45am.
Here's what the audience is saying:
